I recently used one of those scanner/copier/fax/do-it-all machines in the office to scan in several documents. Each time you scan in a document or set of documents, they get e-mailed to you as an attachment. To my knowledge, Outlook doesn’t have the ability to save attachments from several messages at once, so I wrote this macro. It will prompt for a foldername, then save all attachments from all currently selected items to that folder. Without further ado:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106
